Mexico security concerns rise despite Sheinbaum administration reports

Critics of President Claudia Sheinbaum’s second government report argue that official claims of declining crime and violence rates contradict the lived reality of many Mexicans. While the administration asserts that security is improving, data from INEGI suggests that citizens feel increasingly insecure and fearful for their lives.

Reports highlight a rise in multiple executions and recent car bombings. Furthermore, there is significant concern regarding the high number of missing persons, with estimates suggesting over 20,000 disappearances during the current administration's tenure. Families of the disappeared continue to demand that federal authorities dismantle criminal networks responsible for kidnappings, particularly involving minors.

Economically, the country faces stagnation, with annual GDP growth hovering around 1%, falling short of previous administration promises and neoliberal benchmarks.
